How to take your music career to the next level (without sacrificing your values)
What it
looks
like…
<<<<<< Actual “stage” I performed on
We end up in conflict…
• In our bands and ensembles
• In our relationships
• With our clients
• With our peers and competitors
…in the shadows
Here’s where many musicians are:
– Working gig to gig
– Feeling unsure emotionally and spiritually
– Play music that people tell you to play
– Feeling like you never focus on what’s important
– Family / relationships are stressed
The Reality
W h e r e w e w a n t t o b e :
What if you could:
– Play what you want to play
– Get calls you want to get
– Make the money you want to make
– Make your loved ones top priority
– Stay true to yourself and your calling
The Goal
What does success look like to you?
• Is it….
• Fame?
• Respect of your peers?
• Financial freedom?
• Reaching your creative peak?
• Or….
Your biggest
challenge?
